Dental Implants Camas, WA


3D rendering of a dental implant in Camas, WA used by Camas Dentistry.A dental implant is a surgical device that attaches to the jawbone to sustain an oral prosthesis, such as a crown or denture. Dental implants also function as a support for an orthodontic structure.

The dental implant is made of material that is integrated with the bone, for example, titanium. After an implant's attachment, a quality amount of time is a prerequisite to allowing for osseointegration before the prostheses are placed.

Dental Implant Procedure


Dental implant procedures usually vary in the number of teeth to be replaced and the condition of the bone where the implant will be placed. The dentist makes an incision across the gingival margin, and the flap tissue is reflected using lenses to expose the jawbone area. When the bone is exposed, the dentist drills into the bone and enlarges an osteotomy where the implant will be placed. The implant post is then screwed into the bone entirely, where it has zero movements within the bony tissue. An abutment then has to be bonded to the implant. The gum flap tissue is then stitched to cover the bone and sutured.

Types of Dental Implants


Implants could either be endosteal or subperiosteal, referring to their placement positions in the oral cavity. Endosteal implants are installed within the bone and are the most preferred type. This is because they are long-lasting as they fuse with the bone. These implants include screws or posts placed directly into the jawbone. Each implant can hold one prosthesis or a bridge with more pontics. Patients with bridges and removable teeth prefer this type of implant. The All-on-4 Treatment Concept is one type of endosteal implant.

Subperiosteal implants are placed on the jawbone on the gingival tissues. The implant is placed on the jawbone beneath the gum margin using a metal structure to hold the implant into position. Subperiosteal implants are preferred by patients who do not qualify for traditional dentures and don't have enough bone to hold an in-bone implant.

Am I A Candidate for Implants?


To be eligible for a dental implant, one has to be in good general and dental health and also have an excellent and healthy bone structure to hold an implant. Also, one needs to have healthy gingival tissues without gingival or periodontal diseases.

Common Dental Implant Misconceptions


Dental implant placement is a painless procedure as it is typically performed under anesthesia, so the patient feels no pain, except for a little manageable discomfort after the procedure.

Dental implants are also safe as the metal used on the screw bonds well with the bone. Dental implants are permanent solutions to dental problems that lead to tooth loss.

Dental implants are resilient and sturdy and are an almost natural means to replace missing teeth structures. Removable partial dentures are an alternative to implants; they are not as durable or as stable as a dental implant. Taking care of the implant site during healing is recommended to ensure faster healing and avert the breeding and build-up of bacteria that could disease the implant site.
